My brother is in the Marines, and he's been to Iraq and Afghanistan, both as a Scout Sniper and an infantry platoon commander. That doesn't mean I know what I'm talking about as it pertains to military matters. Sure, I can attempt to obtain a superficial understanding of the military but unless I actually go through the experience I'll never move past the surface. That's all I'm trying to say.
Is your brother your darling son, who means far more to you than your own life, and who just turned 18 years old and is expecting his first child?
No? Then I seriously doubt you're as committed to knowing every single detail you can possibly find out about your brother's living conditions while he's deployed as I currently am.
Also, I'm not so sure you'd be capable of learning as much as me, even if you applied yourself with equal effort and commitment.
